This epic hot mess with Shirley Sherrod has got my goat. A sista tries to take an extended break from blogging and they pull me back in! I didn't even break my vacation from blogging to gloat about my precious Los Angeles Lakers winning back-to-back NBA championships! (see next post). I cannot begin to discuss or debate this epic fail in the history of race politics in America. Forget the crap that started this mess and the johnny-come-lately apologies.....
This Florida Evans damn, damn, damn of a cock-up speaks volumes about black women in America......volumes!!!!!!!
How many black men does it take to help toss a single, lone, black woman under the bus?
If you don't believe the old owl.....maybe you'll believe Gina @ What About Our Daughters. Brothers got to work on their loyalty issues with the sistas here. Yes sir, no doubt.
And Dr. Melissa Harris-Lacewell gets down to the ultimate ugly and nasty truth behind the smearing of Shirley Sherrod.
Yeah, it was a hot, spewing mess that came through my TV/computer via Sherrod's unnecessary treatment. Of course, you can say the same thing about all sorts of stuff flying through the airwaves...
ReplyDeletenice to see someone look at it from a womanist black feminist slant. See my post here:
